SAN DIEGO, May 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of MB Financial, Inc. ("MB Financial") (NASDAQ: MBFI) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Fifth Third Bancorp ("Fifth Third")(NASDAQ: FITB).

On May 21, 2018, MB Financial announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Fifth Third.

However, shareholders will be subject to the future price fluctuation of Fifth Third's stock price.

Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given  the Company's projected revenue and earnings growth.
